Sejal felt love again. It was her new office colleague. A cheerful, handsome man. But it was not his looks that attracted her, for there were other handsome guys in her office whom she never noticed. What drew her closer to him was his flirtatious nature. He often indulged in healthy flirting by teasing her about her looks or acting childish with her which she enjoyed. She felt he too liked her, but the scenario was different. It was his nature to flirt with every other girl. But Sejal never understood this and ended up getting heartbreak when he introduced her to his girlfriend.
